ReAct Agent

Also known as: ReAct

A ReAct agent interleaves explicit reasoning traces with concrete actions in a single generation pass. The model writes a thought explaining its current reasoning, then emits an action to execute, then observes the result — all as natural-language text. This thought-action-observation pattern makes the agent's decision process transparent and often improves performance on multi-step tasks.
